    It's better than training season

     

    Houdini is the pick of three - the others are both pretty mid. Not bad exactly, but not what the doctor ordered when Friday 28th June comes to mind.

     

    If anyone sees this dweeb wandering G24 it's on sight.

    I think there has been a massive shift that older/novelty (I know someone is going to disagree with this categorisation) have become far more popular over the years probably with a slight shift in the demographic of people going as so many people want the one off Glastonbury experience, so I do think it will be rammed, I thankfully will be nowhere near 

     

    2015 - which seems to be when Lulu last surfaced - had various other older heritage acts drawing reasonable crowds on the bigger stages - Lionel, Burt Bacharach, Patti Smith, Mavis Staples etc so I'd not really agree that there's been a shift.

     

    That said, if you were to posit that 2024 is looking so threadbare that Lulu will actually become a big attraction because there's f**k all else on then I'd probably agree.

    first time i went to t in the park, (2000 i think?), lulu was on the main stage there.

     

    Yeah - I was there for that.  She did Relight My Fire - but only her bit of it i.e. about 20% of the song 

  4. Ex-Avalon acts getting increasing prominence on the main stages isn't really a sign of a prosperous golden era.

    There is usually a reason behind unannounced slots - either the act is tied into contracts with other festivals/gigs or they want to get some promotion from the press exposure to promote something.

    A bigger factor is usually a pre-existing relationship with the festival. Most secret sets tend to come from people with quite a lot of history with the farm.
